One Piece 38

This might be a little premature, because I'm not sure if mangaroo has had a chance to read 37 yet, but having finished a draft of 39, I'm starting to lose track of where I am. So, here is 38 for all my Monday morning commenters.

Volume 38: Rocketman )

The wish that couldn't be fulfilled if she stayed with them. *sobs forever*

I KNOWWWWW T_T

Wearing his bandana from Tom's Workers. I love you, Iceberg. Stop trying to kill Robin.

Yes! I think I originally meant to mention that but forgot. I really love the bandana touch.

It's okay, he promises never to do it again.

I do not understand this conversation. What's the 108?

Zoro has a bunch of attacks that are either Buddhist puns, jokes about food, or both. (Mostly both.) One of them is the 108-pound cannon, which according to the wikia (I had to look to refresh my memory) refers to the 108 Earthly Desires and involves a really complicated pun playing on the word for "earthly desires," the word for cannon and the word for phoenix. He first used it to defeat Ohm on Skypiea (vol 29), and I think I talked about the pun there. Anyway, Luffy means that them teaming up will double the power of the attack, since Zoro's 108 pound cannon and his gomu-gomu no cannon apparently have roughly the same power.

she pulled it out of her copious bosom? That would have made Sanji so happy.

I love that moment. He told her to wear it next to her heart!

2. "nami" came up for the first time as a flashcard last week. Did I know her name meant "wave"?

I wondered about that at one point, but as far as I know, Nami's name is only ever spelt with katakana in the manga, so I don't know if it actually means wave or not. Would be appropriate, I suppose, for the navigator.

1. The Baroque Works cover arc just shows me how much I forget about past volumes. Too many characters!

I have to go back and reread stuff all the time - another reason I'm glad I let the whole series x2 take up room on my shelves.

3. Nami was pretty awesome in her pursuit of Robin.

Yes! She gets some good moments in this arc.

I wonder what Sogeking was doing on the sea train destined for Enies Lobby?

He's a hero! Heroes always appear when they're most needed. ^__^

There isn't anything else you wanted to say about Sogeking...? Maybe you'd like to know where Sniper Island is?
